John Q Moving

John Q Moving offers both packing and moving services. Their headquarters is located in Surrey, but they serve all of Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island as well. Their website features a number of tips to pack your stuff as efficiently as possible.

Address: 102-15910 Fraser Highway, Surrey

Website: johnqmoving.com

Phone: 604-440-8888

Bungo Box

Unlike all the other companies on this list, Bungo Box doesn’t do any moving services themselves. Rather, they rent out Bongo Boxes, much larger and sturdier than cardboard boxes.

The idea is that you rent the boxes, do your move – either with another company or by yourself – and then after you’re finished, they come back and pick up the boxes.

It’s an alternative system for those DIYers out there looking to avoid the costs of a full moving service.

Address: 8294 St. George Street, Vancouver

Phone: 604-323-0020

Guys & Dollies Moving Co.

Much more than just a clever name Guys & Dollies offer everything you could want in a moving service. With more than a decade’s worth of experience – that’s a lot of boxes – they make any move look lightweight.

Address: 208 – 1901 Barclay Street, Vancouver
